FREDERICK, Md.—The Southern Virginia women's lacrosse team fell 12-8 in their contest against non-conference opponent Hood College on Saturday afternoon.

The first eight minutes of the game was spent with the teams exchanging goals until Hood (1-1) went on a 7-2 run to take a five-point lead at the half. The Knights (0-3, 0-1 CAC) scored two goals 10 minutes into the second half to cut down Hood's lead. The game was ended early due to unforeseen circumstances.
